Alanis Morissette - An Emotion Away
I had high expectations
It's something I could not compromise
And when I saw you I wasn't ready
It completely took my heart by surprise
Who...And when I think of the time I met you
The situation looked harmless
It wasn't long before I got confused enough
And soon I realized that your...
[CHORUS:]
Love is just an emotion away
I know it's gonna get to you
Love will be only a moment away
A moment away you know it's true
Lately the way I'm feeling
It's something I could never have planned
I knew that one day I'd find a love thing
Now I'll never stop believing in chance
I put my heart on a shelf forever
I never thought I would find you
I didn't know any better baby
But then I realized that your...
[CHORUS]
Love is crazy love love is crazy and soon you're gonna get some
